'''Pufftups'''<ref> | '''Pufftups'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> are underwater enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' as well as its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They resemble real life {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}}, due to their appearance and primary method of defense. They appear in three levels of [[Sea Breeze Cove]] - [[Amiss Abyss]], [[Irate Eight]], and [[Shoal Atoll]]. | ||
Pufftups swell and shrink at irregular times, as they swim from side to side and traverse only a certain small distance underwater. When they inflate themselves, in addition to growing in size, Pufftups reveal numerous spikes. If the [[Kong]]s swim into a swollen Pufftup, they risk getting damaged by the spikes. If they are stung, the Kongs lose a single [[heart]] from their health meter. During this inflated state, Pufftups are only vulnerable to [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]'s cane swipe, which can defeat them. When deflated, Pufftups conceal their spikes, opening them to attacks such as [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrews]], though swimming normally into a Pufftup can still harm the Kongs. | Pufftups swell and shrink at irregular times, as they swim from side to side and traverse only a certain small distance underwater.
